Inequality is good!

[CountArach]

Inequality in what sense? I notice people seem to be treating it as a given that inequality is always in reference solely to economic matters but what about gender inequality? Surely there is little that is positive to be said about that?

There are less fish there, if you want equality there it will lead to positive discrimination. As I see it we are all equals as human beings, there is no need for equality in society.

In this thread, it is only related to income inequality, other types of inequality are irrelevant.

If a society is to achieve growth and progress, initiative and effort has to be rewarded.

on what do you base that? is the progress of the individual always good for society? what if the progress of the individual goes against the growth of society? I take it that you speak of economic growth and progress, but what if a few individuals eat all the cake and profit from it, will society neccesarily benefit?

Inequality is therefore not an evil, but a necessity to achieve a good society.

please explain me why exactly. (inequality only in economic sense) is needed to achieve a good society (also only in economic sense? or in more than economic sense?) if a society is good in economic sense but degraded of any morality (amoralistic) would that be a better society which is moralistic but in bad economic shape?

and what would be your idea of a "good" society.

But why does economic inequality take primacy in our society? I'm not criticising or making any points, I'm just observing.
